Midsummer or Summer Dreaming: Try Something New This Summer in Savannah, Georgia!

SAVANNAH, Georgia -- "Over and beyond" was the praise of Zeigler House Inn from one California winner who was celebrating her Wheel of Fortune win at the elegant B&B in the friendly gentlefolk
neighborhood of world-famous Jones Street.

National Landmark Historic District.

Our bed and breakfast guests are people who want to (1) take time to travel and explore new places, (2) take time
to slow down and enjoy life, (3) take time to spend with family and friends, (4) take time to explore different interests, and (5) take
time to live personal dreams.

In 2016, summer begins with the solstice on June 20 at 6:34 p.m. EDT.
Midsummer marks the ancient middle of Summer, astronomical beginning of Summer, and the nativity of St. John the Baptist. The date close to the Summer Solstice on June 19–24 is the traditional dates for Scandanavian and European celebrants.

WHAT ARE SOME WAYS TO FANCY AND SAVOR SUMMER DREAMING IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA?1. TAKE TIME TO TRAVEL AND EXPLORE NEW PLACES.

In Savannah, visit the magnificent historic churches and Cathedral. Surely savoring a southern praline and strolling along the Savannah waterfront or Tybee Island beach triggers that feeling of being in a new place and time. Some actually call it 'time travel'.Zeigler House Inn has private keys to the Mati Hari Speakeasy, where one can experience the Roaring Twenties and cheating on Prohibition.2. TAKE TIME TO SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY LIFE.

Dining in one of Savannah's hip new restaurants offers the opportunity to slow down at our reknown southern pace to enjoy life. Our favorite new spots include The Grey, The Florence, 39 Rue de Jean, and The Vault Kitchen and Market. Whether true or not, it's easy to imagine that the slow food movement began in Savannah with the Forsyth Park Farmer's Market, day-boat seafood, and farmer-delivered meats, produce and fruits! Farm-to-table "new southern' and creatively presented French, Asian, and artisan foods are the specialties. Take in a paranormal or ghost tour with excellent storytellers at Sixth Sense Tours or Bonaventure After Hours with Shannon Scott Journeys.

3. TAKE TIME TO SPEND WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

With ease of access by way of I-16, I95, US 17, US 80 and the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport, it's easy for friends and family to meet up in Savannah. Zeigler House Inn's rooms are more like mini-apartments. And, there are 7 of them! Reserve multiple rooms.

4. TAKE TIME TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT INTERESTS.

The arts and antiques are abundant in Savannah. Young artists and creatives attending the Savannah College of Art and Design add to the classic and modern art of Telfair Museums and over fifty art galleries. It's easy to find a hip music scene any night of the week in the National Landmark Historic District's 'hip and historic' neighborhood of fun-loving creatives.

5. TAKE TIME TO LIVE PERSONAL DREAMS.

Why limit dreaming to midsummer only? Here's an idea: At the conclusion of your summer vacation in Savannah, wouldn't it be fun to ponder if you have lived out themes in William Shakespeare's comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream? The themes are love, carnivalesque, problem with time, loss of individual identity, ambiguous sexuality, feminism, and religious.
